EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Boldly preserving the ambience of one of Scotland's finest Baronial manors, Dalmahoy, A Marriott Hotel & Country Club has commenced an exciting refurbishment of its 7 period rooms in the main house of the West Lothian hotel. The refurbishment is sensitive to its noble history, retaining all of the distinctive period features of the building whilst adding touches of elegant luxury and the highest quality fixtures and fittings to make these rooms something truly special.

Work started on the refurbishment on the 15th of December and will continue until mid February. Included in the refurbishment is the famous 'Lady Mary's Room,' said to be haunted by Lady Mary Douglas, daughter of the Earl of Morton, Robert Douglas, who died in 1689. Staff at the 4 star hotel near Livingston is interested to see how Lady Mary will react to the works and it is hoped she will be happy with her new surroundings and agree that the disruptions were very much worth it!
